A Known Hope.


I choose to believe. Why do I choose to believe? I choose because logic tells me that to not believe would mean hopelessness. There is no hope for those who have no belief. And if they say they hope without having to believe, what is their hope based upon.  There were people in Athens that had this--

Act 17:23  For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. 

TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.

To have hope in the UNKNOWN, hope you keep nameless, could in truth be hope in GOD. If you're unwilling to admit to a hope in God, in giving your hope the name of God, may the Holy Spirit impress the truth of Him upon you so your hope is KNOWN. We don't have to worship ignorantly.

My Jesus tells me this--

He will never leave me.
He will never forsake me.
The Lord is my helper.
I will not fear what man shall do to me.
He is with me always, even to the end of the world.
The LORD my God.
He will be with me.
He will not fail me.
He will not forsake me.
I will not be dismayed.
Fear not.
God is with me.
Be not dismayed.
He is my God.
He will strengthen me.
He will help me.
He will hold me with his righteousness.

Heb 13:5  Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 
Heb 13:6  So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. 

Mat_28:20  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Deu 31:6  Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 

Deu 31:8  And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed. 

Isa 41:10  Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Life may throw me a lot of curve balls, in fact it can throw all of us many curveballs. And we could believe God forsakes us when we go through horrible things, but He doesn't. He is keeping us in Him, our painless lives are only promised in eternity, not in the temporary to eternity.

God help us always! Keep us in Him always! He is our HOPE now and ever! All through Jesus Christ our LORD, our SAVIOR.
